Sint-Jacobskapel, Medieval chapel in Nijmegen, Netherlands.

The Sint-Jacobskapel features brick construction with a three-sided choir section and five stained glass windows designed by artist Ted Felen.

Built in 1438 through an inheritance from a wealthy widow, the chapel served as part of Sint-Jacobsgasthuis before becoming a glassworks until 1670.

The chapel maintains connections to the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route, with monthly services where travelers receive blessings for their journey.

From April through September, the chapel opens every Saturday between 11:30 AM and 5:00 PM with volunteers providing information to visitors.

The chapel stamp for pilgrim passports displays the building's rear view alongside two distinctive Saint James shells in the border design.
